Lush Valentines Day Collection: Unicorn Horn Bubble Bar

Now I'm going to let you in on a little secret I am a Lush bath virgin, yes I know I'm a bad blogger however I've just never been a bath kind of girl I'm a fan of quick and out showers. Saying that a few of you may know that I've been quite ill the past week and a bit and the only thing I want when I'm ill apart from my bed is a nice soak in the bath, and couldn't resist giving the Unicorn Horn Bubble Bar a go!

The Unicorn Horn is described as a magical bath filled with beautiful neroli and lavender essential oils which is great for relaxation and de-stressing your body, colourful candy stars, sparkling lustre, rainbows and dreams. From first impressions you cannot deny how pretty this looks, from the mixture of colours to dainty little stars. There is just something about it being a unicorn horn that makes this magical and cute. The scent of this bar is quite strong from the offset as you can smell the lavender seeping through the lush bag, which for me isn't necessarily a bad thing as I love the scent.

Not knowing what to expect, I started to crumble the bubble bar under the tap and this was fairly easy to do, you just have to be careful as I found myself scooping a few of the bigger bits out the water. But I did notice that some of the smaller crumbs did dissolve in the water itself leaving a lovely lilac coloured glittery water, which you can kind of see on one of my photos (darn you bathroom light), I do imagine though if you used half of this it wouldn't give the same effect as this was quite light and could end up looking a little dirty. I found that originally it wasn't foaming too much just with the aid of running water, so popped the jets on and found this really helped to foam the bar and my gosh I found the bubbles to be so soft, you could even smell the lavender in the water which was lovely. After the bath my skin felt softer and smelling gorgeous.

Overall I found that once this had dissolved and foamed the unicorn horn helped to create a relaxing bath, that is perfect for when you are feeling under the weather or need to relax after a long day. I definitely want to stock up on a few more of these and a couple of the other Valentine's offerings.
